Anyone else think Princess Mononoke might have served as some sort of inspiration for this mount? Yakul resembles this Breezestrider quite well.

*******I don't care for upvotes but I hope this does get upped because until this gets fixed, if you're a mount collector these are some things to consider before attempting to farm new rares and their respective mounts.*******

I plan on adding this to all of the rare spawns that drop mounts in WoD as it is quite important when it comes to getting the mount without some extra headache or at least you can go into it knowing what to expect. Some things may be specific to my realm(Arthas) but my guess is they're applicable to most realms.

(Note*: I know a good amount of this information is specific to the Nagrand rares but I can almost guarantee the same thing will happen with trying to farm the mounts in the other zones. Highly doubt, just Nagrand is instanced, and should consider this information/examples for whatever zone you're in.)

So I'm not sure if anyone has noticed but there are separate instances/phases of zones now, I'm not sure if this is specific to high population realms but my realm seems to have two instances(maybe more, at least two) for Nagrand. I feel like this might be more of a high population occurrence, to aid with all the lag/server crashing that the expansion had brought, but that can't be confirmed. The instancing itself reminds me a lot of the cross-realm party feature yet obviously this is happening within the realm. These two instances seemingly are two completely different/unrelated phases of Nagrand. Simply put on one phase of Nagrand, for example, Luk'Hok could be alive but on the other he may still be on respawn, so if you're not lucky enough to be in the phase Luk'Hok is on, you will miss out on the mount unless invited by someone on the phase with Luk'Hok; he will just be invisible to you otherwise along with all of those people who are getting the kill. Something else I've noticed is that these phases don't seem to share respawn timers. The approximate timer for Nakk from a solid amount of sources is about 19-30 hrs and I'm starting to think Luk'Hok is about the same.

Yesterday Luk'Hok spawned at 6:25am server time(Calling this Phase 1 Luk'Hok of Nagrand), and then only 6 hours later at approximately 1pm server time(Calling this Phase 2 Luk'Hok of Nagrand). His next spawn was not until about 30 minutes ago at 5:30 am server time which fits perfectly into the range of the phase 1 time about 23 hours later. I know people who are still camping the rares and will update this post if Luk'Hok proceeds to spawn in about the next 5-6 hours as that would fit perfectly into the Phase 2 respawn timer.

This same occurrence happened with Nakk the Thunderer and seems to reveal the same exact thing, even more apparent than Luk'Hok. After maintenance on 11/21/14 Nakk spawned about 22 and a half hours after realms went back up at 6:35am(10 minutes after Phase 1 Luk'Hok mentioned above, I might add, which suggests that maintenance resets their timers). I got the kill and went to bed, I knew a few guildies that were questing in Nagrand that morning and told me later that night Nakk spawned at approximately 8am server time, just an hour and a half after my kill. This almost completely justifies the multiple instances having different spawns of rares as there's been no report on Nakk having anywhere close to that short of a respawn time anywhere.

These are the first four spawns and times after maintenance on the above date in Nagrand:Luk'Hok spawns at 6:25am(19 hours and 25 minutes after maintenance) Nakk spawns at 6:35am(19 hours and 35 minutes after maintenance), Nakk spawns at ~8am(24 hours after maintenance), Luk'Hok spawns at 1pm(29 hours after maintenance).

Since Luk'Hok last spawning at 1pm server time, yesterday, there had been no spawns til 5:30am this morning(11/23/14). Four spawns between a 6 hour time frame then no spawns of either rare until 17 hours later jumps out at me as a little odd.

I've since submitted a ticket to see if this is the case and to be honest I hope it gets fixed. People who camp all night for these rares should not be affected by these phases. The instancing of these special rares needs to be universal to all phases of said zone. I'm thankful Blizzard added the instances as it's vastly improved server stability but I think this was just kind of an unexpected side effect they didn't foresee.

-Different instances of zones have separate rare spawns and respawn times

-If you're not in the correct phase you won't be able to see the rare spawn

-Being invited to the right phase will allow you to get in on the kill

-If you miss loot it will be mailed to you(happened to me, corpse insta-despawned but it was in my mail)

Rumors about the instancing is that they're separated by whether or not you're in a group/raid or if you're solo, yet I have seen this disproved and can confirm that it's not true yet out of about 6 kills, this rumor happened to be the truth 5 of the 6 times this happened to be true and the only exception was that people that were solo had just left their group, but not before the pull was initiated, but take as it is, just a rumor.

Has no special skin or anything different from any other talbuk mount in the game, really. I was hoping it would be similar to the Spirit of Shinri in a mount version.

Kommentar von BarlowTheSeeker

Just killed and got this mount. I'm not sure how rare of a rare spawn this is, otherwise I would have invited people into the group. I was very surprised when the mount dropped!

Kommentar von Hasbeen

Friend just killed him today on Thrall on his 91 warlock. Easy kill and nice reward.

Kommentar von galaispera

I'm surprised to not see any comments. =) Anyways, I didn't know this mount existed (but looted it today), and I certainly wasn't farming it. I'm surprised to see wowhead mark it as a 100% drop. I have a few other mounts that were 100% drops in wod, and they required a group to obtain.

This one is easily solo-able! Didn't even break a sweat on a level 93 toon.

edit: "guess my browser bugged, now I see the comments!" =)

If you see this mob, it would be really nice to make a group. Many people would like this mount as well so share the love.

I got the Swift Breezestrider on 2/13/16 around 5:30 a.m. eastern on Alexstrasza. It was near the Anguish Fortress.

Just dropped for me on Ravencrest US at 6:10 am server time.

Just got him at 10:29 am Dec 10 2016 on Area 52. Didn't realize it was the mount dropper or I would have let more people know.
